The Government bussed in supporters from all over the Country and they are posing as locals in Quito, and Government-run tv is showing the protests. all other stations are off the air. gov. Censorship at it's best!

"Ecuador President Rafael Correa was holed up in Quito on Thursday afternoon after being attacked by police angered over changes to their job benefits.

In the aftermath of that attack, police across the country revolted, a state of emergency was declared, and flights into the country were canceled. While what exactly is going on in the Ecuadorian capital is still being sorted out, some fear the South American nation could be witnessing its second coup in a decade..."

He is a socialist, and the poor love him. The Indians hate him, and if they get involved he will probably be gone. The Police are mad because he wanted to make them retire at 65 and wanted to pay their pensions in 1/2 gov. Bonds, and half, checks. The locals here think this may be a setup for him to replace the Police force here, that is hated because of it's corruption.

Well, since Nicaragua is now listed as one of the 59 States of the Corporate United States by the Education Dept., I can only imagine that is not enough for the Corporate Mafiosa, eh?

The Police are probably being paid by the CIA to stage a coup so that Ecuador will become the 60th state.

We'll probably see a lot more of this in the months ahead. After all, the Corporation is broke. It must raid the coffers of other states in order to stay alive. What better way than to make states out of all of them. Corporate states, of course. Which means they are owned by Washington D.C. and have no rights.

That's a pretty ballsy step in the right direction? Any kind of police force seems to be corrupt. They have too much power. So, if the poor love him, then they must be okay with his alliance with Hugo Chavez? How does that reconcile with the U.S. support of him? Very crazy.

If the poor continue to get low to no taxes, and Government subsidies, they are happy here.
